The Huntsman's Prey: Sneak Peek 3

I am relieved to say that the book will be done TODAY!! I've got just a few more words left to write before I can type the two words all writers love to see: THE END

So, because I'm totally pumped up I'm gonna share another sneak peek:

All eyes turned to the woman
coming down the long stairway. Unlike the other women inside, there was not
much about her that looked normal, apart from her hair which was a rich, almost
nutty brown color and her eyes that were a jewel green. But that was where the
similarities ended.

Sprouting from her head were
two curled antennae. And she had a face that could never be called beautiful in
any possible form. It wasn’t even plain. In fact, she had the most hideous face
he’d ever seen. It reminded him of mashed dough, with two slits where nostrils
should be, and the barest trace of lips.

He blinked, realizing it wasn’t the dim lighting that made her skin
appear pastel green, because the nearer she drew, the more obvious it became.
Her arms were stubby and short, and the vivid purple and blue dress she wore
dragged on and on behind her. But not like a train, or even a voluminous mass
of fabric. It glided along with a sensuousness of motion that brought to mind
the crawl of a caterpillar…Hmmm… I wonder who that could be. ;)Also, make sure to continue checking back as I'll be doing a cover reveal for this really soon and I hope you love the cover as much as I do. *g*Happy reading,~Marie
